Students in Miss Bedard's Kindergarten have begun a new science unit -sink or float. To initiate the lesson, students made predictions about 7 different objects; which included a penny, paperclip, cork, sponge, pumpkin, apple, and a rock. With each of these objects, the students predicted whether they thought the object would sink or float. Then, students tested the objects and compared predictions.
